If the Corn-laws really served the ' n f terest o f the agricultural labourers or working , t rlners, we should say less against them ; but all t in t accounts which we receive from the agri tbultural districts tend to show that the labourers tai e .re are in a most distressed, degraded, and demo prised condition, and that the farmers are neither r ty ne llerous nor secure.

If any doctrine t h e e more A opish than these, it is the doctrine that EnglPrecedence of the POPE over other Bishops in der ag e and elsewhere is a matter suspended and un certai e Y a nce, but not to be denied, and that he has h t legi t i Mate iniill.oves, existing claims, which may be settled when impediments to our acknowledg 4Pondem " Strang e language," adds our Cor f re- Thuh te llt, " for those who have subscribed to the o - 14 le s of that Church which state that the Pora o -f 4 th ilt i-Ch Christ, not the successor of ST. PETER, but e Scribes and Pharisees, and the Church of le ? the Balnlonical Beast, and the Whore of Ba- bylon." As sincere friends of the Reformed Protestant Creed, we call upon the readers of the Tory Journals not to be led away by false alarms, but to look to the real danger—the growing spirit of Popery which rankles M the bosom of our own Church. The full and correct Report which we gave the other day of the proceedings attendant on laying the first stone of the Southampton Commercial Docks has ex cited such extraordinary interest that we have been in duced to republish it, in order to satisfy the demand for our Journal of that day. We do this the more readily, as we have long advocated, in a national point of view, the formation of those Docks, as affording an asylum not only to our coasting, but to our trans atlantic and other trade coming up or down the Channel from all parts of the world. Indeed, the more we conside r the subject, the more are we impressed with its vast and growing importance. It has often been matter of remark, and even reproach, with naval men, what slender protection was afforded to our commerce, along the Channel coasts, especially in heavy gales of wind— and during the winter months the wind blows gene rally on our coast, which renders the navigation ex tremely dangerous in dark long nights, during the pre valence of stormy weather. So much has this been felt, that the premiums of insurance have often been greater from the Chops of the Channel than from the East Indies I And the reason is obvious : in the one ease vessels have plenty of sea-room ; in the other they have to encounter the dangers of a lee-shore on either side the Channel, without having a friendly port of sufficient depth of water to afford protection, added to the chances of capture during a war. Why a merchantman worth from 50,0001. to 200,000/., would run all the risks of capture for a week, or it might be a fortnight, between the Lie of Wioh; and the Downs, detained or baffled about by contrary winds, and subject to the an noyance of steam-vessels running in and out of harbour at night, so that the loss to in dividuals, or the country, would be more in one season than all the cost of the splendid and capaci ous docks now in course of completion in the still—deep waters of Southampton. Our especial wonder has been, that an undertaking of such obvious national concern should have been so long overlooked. But better late than never. The work now progresses with becoming spirit, and persons of all shades of opi nion—for Commerce, after all, takes but one line in politics, PROFIT—are now becoming partners in, or supporters of, this very promising work, which when the Railway is completed, will bring Southamp ton as near to the Royal Exchange as the East and West India Docks now are. Nor is this all, for what London may have hitherto lost by the cessation of the East India Company's trade, will be more than regained by the large acces sion of commerce, which it will receive through the facility of communication with Southampton. In deed, in a short time we shall see Bristol and Southampton vieing with Liverpool in commercial importance ; and this is perhaps but just, for trade always thrives best when stimulated by competition, and divided and spread over large surfaces of country, rather than confined to one locality. Having always taken so much interest in these na tional undertakings which tend so much to improve the country generally, The Sun cannot but feel proud that it has enforced and supported them when no other Journal paid them any attention. We conclude by heartily wishing all such legitimate improvements as the Southampton Railway and Docks all the success which they may merit. Letters from Constantinople of the 3d inst. announce the arrival of Colonel WtLBRAHAm in that capital on the Ist, from Teheran, with despatches from Mr. M.NEIL, the British Ambassador in Persia, to Lord PONSONBY. We are informed that these dispatches containLd assurances of the ascendancy of British in- fluence at the Court of the SHAH, notwithstanding the efforts of the agents of Russia to widen the breach between the English and Persian Governments, by re presenting in terms the most exaggerated the disgrace of raising the siege of Herat at the suggestion, or rather in obedience to the mandate, of the British Ambassador. Sensible that were the Princes who govern Cabool, Candahar, and Peshawer, _ reduced to the condi tio❑ of mere vassals of the SHAH, her influence would be unbounded in the East, Russia exerts all her influence to inflame the ambition of the Per sian SOVEREIGN, by reminding him of the once wide extent of his kingdom, and holding out pro mises of ample support, in the event of his re solving to render himself absolute. For once, how ever, have the intrigues of Russia been wholly frus trated by the firmness of the British Ambassador and the military promptitude of the Bengal Government. Captain BURNES, who is now at the Court of Cabool, is said to be a man well qualified to execute the mis sion entrusted to him on behalf of England. The greatest harmony prevails between theßritish and Turkish fleets now cruising off the Dardanelles. The CAPITAN PACHA andAdtniral STOPFORD have seve rally entertained each other on board their respective ships, amidst the liveliest demonstrations of international concord. The assemblage of Turkish and English officers on these occasions was very numerous ; and, according to the reports, the Mussulmans heartily en joyed the amusements prepared for them by the British :ars. But while we congratulate ourselves upon the ascen dancy of British influence in Persia, it would appear from the correspondence of the Commerce, a respect able Paris Paper, that we are on the eve of a war with Russia. For our own part we shall not greatly regret the occurrence of such an event, happen when it may, convinced as we are that the first roar of British artillery will awaken the slumbering genius of Constitutional Poland, and open the navigation of the Black Sea. The following is the article in the Com merce of Tuesday to which we are alluding ST. PETERSBURGH, OCT. 7.—The probability of a war between Russia and England appears to increase daily. A courier from Teflis has just arrived with the following intellilence :- 1 " Lieutenant-General Golowine, commander of the army of the Caucasus, has received from General Pcrowski, Governor of the Khanat of Erivan, official notice of the departure of the British troops from Akouchysa, and of their entrance into Schiraz, reinforced by a number of individuals, who had revolted against the reigning Shah. There prevails at present in Persia a panic much greater than that which seized the country in 1835, on the ac cession to the throne of Mohamed Shah. General P,•- rowski has marched troops to the Araxes, in the direc tion of Bakou, in order to reassure the Shah, by showing him that Russia was ready to assist him in case the Eng lish should invade his dominions. General Golowine has sent a reinforcement of 5,000 men to the corps of the army of Armenia, and has called for precise instruc tions to direct his future conduct. The Government waits the arrival of the Emperor to forward orders to that General. " On the other hand, we are informed that Count Po toski, the Russian Ambassador in Sweden, has opened ne gotiations with the Government of that country, having for their object to insure the co-operation of the Swedish fleet with that of Russia, in the event of a war or a hostile demonstration against England. " Our Government intends sending into Armenia several regiments, composed of men natives of northern Russia. It was at first contemplated to employ in that country corps of Cossacks and regiments consisting of Poles and Russians, but there is a disinclination to trust the latter, 4mong whom much discontent has of late prevailed. if England w ished • to av a il h erse lf o f th e d e lay that will intervene before the arrival of those Russian regiments in Armenia, which can t not take place for three or four months, op account of the distance between by twee the latter and Central Russia , s he mi g ht „ create c ons iderable embarrassments for the Cabinet of St. • marching troops towards tl2e .Araxes, and raising the cry of Liberty' among the natives of the Cau• casus and Georgia, and among the Russian forces them selves. The Czar is more in dread of such an event than of all Lord Palmerston's diplomatical notes. The Cabinet of the Tuileries inspires no fear to M. Nesselrode, who loudly boasts of being able to lead it as he pleases." The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all been re ceived. The following amusing paragraph from one of them will show that we were not mistaken in at taching less political importance to the appearance of the Princess of 13EIRA in Spain than some of our Gallic Contemporaries : A Carlist correspondence, quoted by the Sentinelle des Pyrenees, gives a curious explanation of the motive which led to the Princess da Beira's arrival in the insurgent pro vinces. It appears that Father Cyrille on joining Don Carlos found him exposed to the artifices of a young and handsome female, to counteract whose ascendency, which be feared might destroy his own influence, he wrote seve ral pressing letters to the Princess da Beira, urging the necessity of her immediate presence. The Princess im mediately resolved to make the journey, but first commu nicated her intention to Don Carlos, who made every effort to dissuade her from carrying it into effect, and even gave formal orders to his agents abroad to prevent her from set ting out. The Princess, however, was not to be baffled, and'has by this time reached her destination. So then the long journey of the Princess was alto gether an affair of the heart I CUPID disputes with MARS an ascendancy over the mind of the puissant Pretender. We sincerely trust, for the sake of the errant Princess, that Don CARLos touches the lute with more effect than he poises the lance. If he be not more formidable as a lover than he is a soldier, her condition is the least enviable than can well be imagined. The advices from l‘ladrid are of the 16th, but they arc wholl, unimportant. The capital was then tran quil. In the following brief extracts from the Jour nals of Tuesd and the Brussels papers, will be this morning found all the news which has reached us of the slightest importance : A letter of the 17th inst., from Saragossa, published in the Phare of Bayonne, says that General Van Halen, after being joined by General Meer's division at Carinena, had taken the direction of Belchite, whence he bias to march immediately ut on Caspe which was threatened by the main body of Cabrera's troops, whose artillery had already begun to fire upon the town. As Van Halen, who is an officer of great determination, had 10,000 infantry and 600 cavalry underhis orders, it was hoped that he would save the place. General Santos San Miguel was to remain at Saragossa. ; Most of the persons who had recently been arrested in that city remained in durance. As the St. Pierre de Miquelon, a brig belonging to St. Malo, and just returned to that port from the Azores, was on her passage home, she was overtaken by a violent storm, (luring which she was struck by a sea, which swept the deck from stem to stern, and washed fifteen of her men into the waves. Seven were saved by Clinging to ropes thrown out to them, but the rest were drowned. According to the Quarterly Report of the Commis sioners of the Sinking Fund, the purchases of stock from July 1 to September 30 inclusive were solely in the Three Per Cents., and amounted to 188,668 f. Rent e s, costing 5,080,266 f. 78c., the average price being 80f. 78c. BRUSSELS, OCT. 22.—The following facts mentioned by our Correspondent, are of so serious a nature, that we would willingly believe that they deserve no credit. We will, however, state this as a report that circulates at Paris: " News has been received at Paris that the Conference at London has at length signed the ultimatum on the Treaty of the 24 Articles, and that the conditions imposed on Belgium are by no means favourable. his even probable that the visit of King Leopold to Paris is in consequence of this decision. The Conference requires the strict execu tion of the 24 Articles with respect to the territory. It sees that the German Confederation, supported by the Northern Powers, would not permit the alienation of Luxemburg and Limburg. " As for the debt, the reduction adopted is wholly in significant, and not worth while talking about. The Con ference ought either to have investigated the calculations in the pamphlet of M. Dumortier, and done complete justice to Belgium, or it ought to have abided by the letter of the Treaty, and refused to make any change in it. However the new arrangement prescribed by the Conference will be carried into effect without delay, without being made subordinate to the liquidation of the Syndicate. We do not know whether the King of the Belgians will submit to such a decision, but it seems certain to us that it will be very difficult to restrain the people of Luxem burg and Limburg, who are decidedly averse to becoming again Dutch. The effervescence in those provinces is so great that an insurrection is to be dreaded, and, as in that case. the Prussian troops will interfere, we ask whether France will remain indifferent to events which will take place so near its frontier."—Private correspondence of the Courrier Beige.

In the Central Criminal Court, yesterday, the youth named Chamberlain, who was recently examined at Worship_ street on a charge of having assaulted his master's niece, who subsequently drowned herself in the Regent's Canal, was in dicted for aite:npting to commit the capital offence, but, after a long investigation, acquitted. In consequence of the numerous impositions which have during the last week or two been practised upon the in habitants of Kennington, Stockwell, and Brixton, by a set of begging petitioners, handbills and placards have been freely circulated in the vicinity of these neighbourhoods, cautioning all individuals against further impositions. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at St. Thomas's Hospital on the body of Thomas Parsons, aged 65. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses that the d .ceased had been employed for some S ears in the patent shot rr.anufactory of Mr. Walker, in the Commercial-road, Lam beth, and that while in the act of moving a piece of lead , weighing near 5 cwt., with a handspike , on t h e 5111 inst., it slipped and jammed the right leg of t h e u nf o rtunate man in a shocking manner. The sufferer was immediateiy conveyed to the above-named hospital , where he lin g ered until y esterday morning. Verdict—" Accidental death." LET TIIE WORLD MATCH THlS.—Fromthe first time Rice jumped " Jim Crow" in old Kentuck up to the prent date, he has sung 37,000 verses in the United States, England, and Ireland. During the great run of "Oh Hush l" at the Bowery Theatre, he sang 100 verses each night, always upon some new subject. His encores are generally seven or eight times a night, and frequently he has been made to re turn ten times of a night. He " turns about" three times to each verse, so, by multiplying 37,000 by three, we find that he has " wheeled about and turned about" 111,000 times—nearly as often as the little magician. —York York paper.

From the publication of the quarterly returns of the Private and Joint Stock Banks, as published in the Gazette of Tues day evening, it appears that the issues of the Private Banks of circulation have decreased in the amount of 299,4361., whilst those of the Joint Stock Banks' circulation have in creased in the sum of 81,1051., but altogether this return shows a total decrease of the circulation of local paper, to the extent of 380,5411. The Australian of the Bth June gives an extract of the Governor's speech, as follows : , 4 I cannot, Gentlemen, conclude this address, without ac knowledging to you, that in a matter of far higher import ance than the mere increase of wealth,—l mean the moral con. dition of the people, a residence of three months among you has caused me to form a far more favourable estimate of the colony than that which I entertained when I left England. Of your wide agricultural and pastoral districts, I am not yet in a condition to offer any opinion ; but in respect to Sydney and its immediate vicinity, I feel happy to be able to avow that I have found a far greater degree of decorum and propriety of conduct prevail than from some accounts of the colony pub lished in England I had been led to expect." We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date, but the intelligence from Holland has been anticipated by the arrival of the Balauier yesterday evening. It is stated by accounts received from Constantinople of the 3d inst. that British influence had suddenly gained the ascend ency in Persia, and had the effect to induce the Shah to pro mise to accept the ultimatum presented to him by Colonel Stoddari, as well as to raise the seige of Herat, in conse quence of which all apprehensions of a rupture between Great Britain and Persia has subsided.

THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 94. - --- Yesterday v evening a poor w oman, named Margaret Colley, who has for some years obtained her living, and that of her family, by vending fruit at a stall in Gro at Cha p el-street, W estminster, was nearf crus hed to death by a wagg on, be longing t o M r. Richmond, coal-merchant, Scotland-yard. It appeared that the poor creature had not sufficient time to get out of the way before the waggon came down upon her. In her anxiety to save her stall, she fell under the fore-wheels of the wa ggon, and, had it not been for the driver pulling up at the moment, she must have been killed on the spot. She was conveyed in a state of insensibility to the Westminster Hospital, without the slightest hope of recovery. PRICE OF P OTATOES. —Thepresent price ascends from 50s. a ton to 80s. To the waterside during the week, 1,850 tons have been supplied.—Commercial Gazette. [The retail pric e p er sack ranges from ss. to Os. 1 Potatoes at this moment are dear er i n Glasgow than in London, and we are sorry to see it stated that 1,000 tons of that root were shipped the other day from the Thames to the city of New York.— Durqfries Courier. COUNCIL COURT OF COMMON (THIS DAY.) A Ccurt of Common Council was held, this day, at Guildhall. The LORD MAYOR took the Chair at twelve o'clock. The minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. ST. BRIDE'S PARISH. Mr. Alderman KELLY presented a petition, signed by the Rev. Thomas Dale and several of the inhabitants of St. Bride's parish, in Fleet-street, praying that the Court would grant a sum of money towards defraying the expenses of erecting the new church in Gough-square. Mr. Alderman COPELAND moved that the petition be brought up. The Rev. THOMAS DALE was heard at great length in sup . port of the prayer of the petition. He stated that the inhabi tants of St. Bride's parish did not ask for the assistance of that Court, before they had put their own shoulders to the wheel— they had subscribed no less than 4.0001. towards the erection of the new church. In proof of the fact that the majority of the persons resident in St. Bride's parish were Church men, the Rev. Gentleman stated that in the year 1837 the number of marriages of persons belonging to the Established Church in that parish was 924, while that of the Dissenters, at least of those who were married at Dissenting Chapels, tees only 10. After a long discussion, the petition was referred to a Committee. (LEFT SITTING.) CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. FORGERY. —Edw. Cooney, 21 , described in the Calendar as a Clerk, was indicted for forging and uttering, on the 4th of October, a check for the sum of 51., with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. There were several other indictments against the prisoner, charging him with intent to defraud other persons. Mr. MAULE, Mr. ADOLPHUS, and Mr. BULLOCK, conducted the case for the prosecution. Mr• PIIILLIP3 defended the prisoner. Mr. MAuLE stated the case on behalf of the prosecution, and called— _ . Wm. Fabin, who stated that he was a clerk in the Drawing Office of the Bank of England. In that office they were in the habit of issuing checks marked of 501. each. Messrs. Lawrence and Blencairn, solicitors, of Bucklersbury, kept an account with the Bank, and in September last he received a request, purporting to come from that firm, for a book of checks, which was given them. Three of those checks were marked " T 12,1851, and 1900." Mr. Blencairn, a partner with Mr. Lawrence, stated that the prisoner at the bar was in their employ about two years and a half, as junior clerk. He left in 1836. During the time he was in their employ be repeatedly went to the Bank. He believed the order produced for the check book to be in the prisoner's hand-writing, as well as the checks. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.—It was upwards of two years since he had seen the prisoner write. Mr. Thomas Clewes examined by Mr. MAULE. --Had been clerk to Messrs. Lawrence and Blencairn for four years. Had seen the prisoner write repeatedly, and had no doubt the checks produced were in his hand-writing. Had no doubt that the letter, purporting to come from Mr. Long to Mr. Duval, requesting him to cash the checks was in the prisoner's hand-writing. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.—It was two years since he had seen the prisoner. Mr. Blencairn re-called.—Believed the letters produced to he in the prisoner's hand-writing. Mrs. Duval of Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, stated that her husband received a letter on the 4th of the present month, upon which he desired her to give the boy who brought it a 5/. note. The letter produced was the one received by her husband together with the check. Mr. Duval gave similar testimony. The letter purported to come from Mr. Long, a Roman Catholic Clergyman, whom witness well knew. The check enclosed purported to be drawn by the same gentleman. The check and letters were then put in and read, together with a letter written by the prisoner to Mr. Lawrence, stating that he was in great dis tress, and asking for relief. The Rev. Mr. Long examined by Mr. BULLOCK—Was a Catholic Clergyman, residing in Sutton-street, Soho-square. Mr. Duval was one of his congregation. The check and let ters produced were not in his hand-writing. Had never seen either of the checks until the prisoner was in custody. Did not know the prisoner. Witness had a female, named Cooney, in his employ. Mr. Wilson, examined by Mr. :MULE, was a silk mercer, in Hanway-street, Oxford-street. The check produced was brought on the 6th of October to his shop by the prisoner. Had no doubt of his being the person. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Had not always been so positive of the prisoner's identity. Mr. Gotta, the assistant of the last witness, at the station house stated that he did not think the prisoner was the person he saw in his employer's shop. He believed now that he was the person. This was the case ;or the prosecution. Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner, contending that the evidence of the identity of the prisoner was not such as they could rely upon. Two brothers named Burton gave the prisoner a good cha racter, and also stated that he was playing at skittles with them on the night of the 6th of October, at a public-house in Drury-lane, from half-past six to twenty minutes past ten o'clock. F. W. Glyndon, a painter and glacier, had repeatedly seen the prisoner write, and did not believe the checks and letters produced to have been written by him. Mr. MAuLE replied upon the evidence adduced on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Baron GURNEY summed up, and The Jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner Guilty. NEV COURT. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT HOTELS AND LODGING-HOUSES. —Etienne Hubert, a young Frenchman, whose case has lately been published in the Guildhall police reports, was in dicted for stealing bank notes of the ♦aluc of 601., the pro perty of James Stevens, in the dwelling-house of Mr. Brough, of the Rain Inn, Smithfield. There were six other indict ments of a similar r.,..ture, charging the prisoner with stealing jewellery, apparel, and money, to a considerable amount. The prisoner, was infor.ned of the nature of the charges, by Mr. Jerringham, a barrister, to three of which be pleaded guilty. The other indictments were not read, as by his pleas the ends of justice were answered. The prisoner addressed the Court in French, when the Common Sergeant told him he need not attempt to bam boozle the Court, who were aware that he understood the English language thoroughly. Sergeant Waller, No. S, City Police, said an immense quantity of property was in his possession, which bad been found upon the prisoner, which was partly owned by persons named in the other indictments. The COPRT told him he was an intelligent officer, and he would deliver it to its rightful owners. The prisoner was then sentenced to be transported beyond the seas for the term of fifteen years. Ann Evans, a person who has been tried here four or five times during the last few years, was indicted for stealing a watch, two seals, a gold chain and guard, the property of John Julian. The prosecutor, a gentlemanly dressed man, stated that on the night in question being " overtaken" by liquor, he " overtook" the prisoner, and went home with her ; but whe ther he went to bed there he did not know.—( A laugh.) When he got away and he came to himself he missed his property. A pawnbrnker produced the property, which was pledged by the prisoner, who said it was her uncle's. The prisoner, with great sang froid, said the gentleman dropped the watch, and she pledged it for security.—( A laugh.) She then resorted to her thrice previously told tale—that she had only been from Scotland three months. The Jury, to the utmost surprise of the Court, acquitted her. The COMNION SERGEANT said this was the fourth time she had imposed on Juries. GUILDHALL.-.(THIS DAY.) A woman named Perry was brought up charged with hav ing obtained a variety of articles under false pretences. It appeared that the prisoner was about three months ago in the service of Mrs. Gray, of Finsbury-place South, and was discharged in consequence of improper conduct. Another servant was then engaged to remain in the house while Mrs. Gray went to the Continent. During her absence the prisoner was frequently at the house, and on Mrs. Gray's return she missed 40 yards of unbleached cotton, a piece of fine linen, some flannel, and seven yards of silk. She had since ascer tained that the prisoner had obtained a large quantity of goods from bakers, butchers, and other persons on her account. Th e prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded, in order that further inquiries might be made. AN AWKWARD MISTAKE,— Milian! and Johanna Thomas were placed at the bar on the following charge : Mr. Whithair, superintendent of the city police, stated that last night, as he wai walking down Newgate.street, he was accosted by the male prisoner, who asked him for something to procure lodgings with. He walked on, followed by the prisoner, who at last took him by the arm, and said he must have some money. Witness then desired him to walk along and he would procure him lodgings, but after going a little further the prisoner began to be rather troublesome, and he then took him into custody, together with the woman. Ano ther female, who was in their company, escaped. The male prisoner was three parts drunk. Mr. Alderman PIRIE said he had made a sad mistake in this case, and no doubt if he had fallen in with a timid per son, be would have succeeded in obtaining some money. He should commit him to Bridewell for one month. The female was discharged. - --- Joseph Clinch was charged with wearing the badge of a cab-driver, being himself unlicensed. Mr. Davis, of Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, deposed that he last night sent his servant out with a cab, and be tween eight and nine o'clock he met the prisoner driving it in Fleet-street, and wearing the badge belonging to his ser vant, whom be had not seen since. Mr. Alderman PIRIE said Mr. Davis had acted very pro perly in giving the prisoner in charge, as the Act was intended to prevent improper persons from being employed. For wearing the badge of another person the prisoner had ren dered himself liable to a penalty of 51., but in this case he would mitigate the penalty to 20s. MARYLEBON DAY•) A foreign Jew, named Francesci, was placed at t' charged by Mrs. Ann Robinson, of 24, Edward-street, with having stolen a 5/. Bank of England note. The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner came into her shop yesterday, and offered her a pair of spectacles for sale. At the moment she had the note in her hand, for the purpose of marking it, and as she wished to try whether the " specs " were adapted to her visual organs, she laid the note on her counter, while trying them on. In the mean time, so far from her sight being improved, the Jew's specta cles seemed to have had quite a contrary effect, for Moses disappeared, and along with him the note. The lady's hus band, after some searching, succeeded in capturing the He brew, but again the note was invisible. _ The prisoner, who protested his innocence in broken French, and said he was well acquainted with the French Consul and others high up in the world, was remanded until Saturday. LAND SHARKS AND SEA GULLS —Three sailors, two named Roe, the other Dee, and a female, Julia Thompson, were brought before Mr. Host; iss, the three former charged with being drunk last night, and the latter with having turned one of the " gulls," pockets inside out. 'I he sons of the ocean gave their evidence in a very amus ing style, and said they arrived in the river on the night before last, when they came ashore with about 81. between them, all of which was icdged for safe keeping in the hands of one ; so safely was it kept, that last night they had 2/. left out of the b/., and having met the female prisoner at the Crown and Anchor, she made the 2/. less by 193. ti..--The sailors were discharged, and the unfortunate Cyprian committed for trial.

The new burletta at the Olympic last night is an adaptation from the French burletta, entitled .ilfaultias l'lnvalide, trans lated or imitated by Mr. Selby. The plot runs thus :—A wedding festival takes place to celebrate the nuptials of Mon sieur and Madame Grnblet (Mr. Oxberry and Miss Agnes Taylor), the first of whom is a footman, and the second a lady's maid in the house of the Baroness de Serigny (Mrs. Orger). The marriage celebration opens with a spirited and lively dance, which puts the audience in good humour to listen to a rather tedious first act, which two old pensioners of l'Hopital des Invalides commence, by coming forward and specu latinc, upon the queer character and miserly qualities of another invalid, a veteran of the old guard named Matthias (Mr. William Farren), who does nothing but take snuff out of other people's boxes, and tell them, when sounded as to a certain mystery in his conduct, to—ask no questions. The mystery in point is the lavishing, by the old man, of all his money and affections upon a youth, Theo dore (Mr. James Vining), who is in love with Celine (Miss Lee), and who, hoping to meet her at the wedding festival, comes in and meets old Matthias instead. The old man offers him money and all other tokens of fondness, upon hear ingthe stehearteht e ef i s s u u n e h h ap u p ih ; ap a p n i d ees h s a i % s in le g ve w , o t r e m lis ed him fro a m t e h n i e m e t t h h a a t t such things happened to himself in his youth, and narrates a story of his having loved, an d b een ji lted by, a campsute t 1 , of the name. of Lotta. After thi s story Matthias is laid hold of by his old comrades, who make him gloriously drunk, and when all parties come again upon the stage, there is an ad mirable scene enacted, in which Intoxication, as usual, blabs what Sobriety has afterwards to repent of. Count Arthur de Cesanne (Mr. Selby), cousin to Celine and rival lover to Theodore, is sneering at the latter for being an unknown foundling, living upon the bounty of the old invalid, who is just then supported on by Gimblet in the saddest state of drunkenness, and denied by Theodore, who cannot bear to acknowledge him in the presence of Celine. Old Mat. tliias is so indignant at this that he lets out every reproach that can humiliate Theodore, who stands abashed—jeered at by Count Arthur, and wept for by Celine, just as the old man tumbles down drunk enough to close the first act, and con vince the audience of the inutility at present of " asking further questions." In the second act Matthias finds himself in the hotel of the Baroness de Serigny, having been conveyed there when drunk by order of Count Arthur, her nephew, who sets him down to a magnificent breakfast in a beautiful room, with which, upon being informed that he has nothing to pay, he is so well satisfied as to ask no questions. Gimblet, the servant, however, upon discovering him doing his devours to the breakfast, has so many doubts about his having any busi ness there, that he first kicks up a row, and then summons the Baroness de Serigny, in whom Matthias at once discovers his old lover, Lotta, the camp suttler. The lady dismisses her ser vants with consummate dignity, and then receives the old sol dier with open arms, and allows him to put her through drill as gallantly and as good naturedly as in the days of yore. Imme diately on the appearance of Theodore, however—and subse quently of Count Arthur and Celine—she resumes the Baro ness in proper form, and soon quits the apartment with her daughter, leaving the gentlemen together. Here Theodore and the Count enact rivals. and are abought to fight the most beautiful of all duels, ancient or modern, Bois-de- Boulogn-ish or Chalk-Farm-ish, when the old soldier clears up the mys tery of Theodore's birth, by informing both gentlemen that they are sons of the same father, who was an old comrade of his in the Napoleon wars, and who died enjoining him to pro vide for Theodore. The young men ask no questions, but shake hands, when in come the ladies again. Count Araur gives up Celine to Theodore, and the Baroness takes Old Mat thias, the veteran of the Hopital des Invalides. Such is the plot of the burletta. Farren and Mrs. Orger perform so ex quisitely as to give the burletta a feeling en.e. interest far beyond its merit of authorship, though in that respect it is smart, and sprightly, and clever beyond a doubt. But every body who has ever enjoyed an Olympic performance, must. we repeat, ask no questions, but go and see Farren and Mrs. Orger. THE DUKE OF BUCCLEUCH.—The reports of the Duke's visit to the Continent being occasioned by pecuniary circumstances, as insinuated by a Contemporary last week, we have the best authority for saying are altogether unfounded. — Edinburgh Advertiser. • STATE or TRADE.—The increased activity in the cotton market at Liverpool has produced some effect here. There was more demand for yarn yesterday than for several weeks past, and higher rates were generally asked by the spinners. The demand for cloth continues good; and seve. ral kinds, particularly 27-inch printing cloths, command rather better prices.. —Manchester Guardian.
